Diversity and classification of medical technology
www.medtecheurope.org 13
1The classification of medical devices is a ‘risk based’ system based on the vulnerability of the human body taking account of the
potential risks associated with the devices. The classification rules are based on different criteria such as the duration of contact with the
patient, the degree of invasiveness and the part of the body affected by the use of the device. 2IVD classification is based on the degree of health risk posed to an individual and public, and is related to the risk of an incorrect result
arising from the use of the IVD.

Impact of procurement in the EU on the innovation

Partners commissioned by Eucomed
innovations are differentiated according to three key dimensions
Definitions
Number of substitutes
Signifies a market/product category dimension
Number of interchangeable products in the market
Level of clinician influence
Signifies a stakeholder dimension
Degree of influence of clinicians on product selection
and procurement
Influence depends on the therapeutic specialty, the
unmet need and the perceived improvement of
patient outcomes
Product conformity
Signifies a process dimension
High product conformity, i.e. fit with existing
procurement processes and demand specifications
Low product conformity, i.e. requires time and effort to
learn and process/specification adaptations and
developments on the procurement side

Subject
to PC? Insights and impact
Drug-eluting
stents 3rd
generation
Procurement centralization of DES started in 2004/2005
This and other factors such as increasing competition and a study revealing
potential safety issues of DES in 2007, drove price erosion in the DES market
Today, 2nd-generation products are often considered “sufficient”. Centralized and
cooperative procurement bodies often use them as their standard products
In addition, PC’s strong focus on price leads to further price erosion and limited
opportunities to achieve price premiums for next-generation products
Endopros-
thetics: MB
knee implants
PC of mobile-bearing knee implants started in ~2002
PC drove price erosion of fixed-bearing implants and made it impossible to sustain
a price premium for mobile bearing implants, despite regular launch of new
products/next-generation products
This has led to reduced adoption of next-generation MB implants priced at a
premium over FB implants
Spinal
implants:
Cervical plates
PC of cervical plates started in ~2002/2003
Today, PC limits adoption and price potential of next-generation cervical plates due
to strong demand standardization
High-end
radiology
equipment ~
High-end equipment not yet in the focus of centralized procurement
PC (among other factors such as increasing competition) drives price erosion in
low- to mid-end radiology equipment thereby increasing the price differential to
high-end equipment
This affects adoption of high-end equipment indirectly as price premiums vs. low-
to mid-end equipment can get prohibitively high
yes ~ to limited extent no
Expenditure on MedTech
It is estimated that only around 7.5 % of
total European healthcare expenditure
is attributed to MedTech.

2 - Collect, develop and share, evidence-based cases of
medical technology supporting effective personalised care, a
sustainable healthcare system and healthy ageing
3 - – Demonstrate cost-effectiveness incl. cost-
containment, Tx lifelong cost-saving, lifecycle cost
(product), and the (socio-)economic value for patient,
healthcare system and society of medical technology,
while improving healt and economic outcomes and quality of
care
4 – Enable care processes to address labour shortages
HEALTH ECONOMIC
VALUE
Mid-to-late 1700s. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a
“founding father” of American medicine,
believed in direct, drastic intervention.
“Do everything you can, anything is
possible.”
Mid-to-late 1800s, early 1900s. a more
nihilistic philosophy:
“Do nothing because doctors do
more harm than good.”
Circa World War II, therapeutic explosion
erases notion of physician as passive
observer. We return to Rush’s view:
“Do everything you can, anything is
possible.”
1980s. Dr. David L. Sackett:
Do everything that does more good
than harm (based on critical appraisal
of research evidence) i.e.
“Evidence based medicine”.
Historically … Western medical practice has been guided by
experience, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and unproven theories
